Famously remembered for her heroic speech at the 1992 Republican National Convention, Mary Fisher has spent the past twenty years overcoming AIDS and breast cancer, making art, discovering humor, demonstrating courage, and giving speeches never forgotten by her fortunate audiences.

Mary’s first autobiographical memoir, My Name is Mary (1995), was published during the era when AIDS was a death sentence; her second memoir, MESSENGER,A Self-Portrait (2012), focused on her return to life, overcoming breast cancer, and taking on new challenges.
